As you all knew I would post, Hydromancer.
I guess I just have an affinity for "Edge-walkers".
Controls water = SWEET!
Is a gunman = AWESOME
has issues that are "like, five times that big!"(Mr. Unstoppable, hehe) = Beautiful

But has anyone noticed that we've never actually seen a Hero fight, well anything? The closet we've gotten is The Kat's POUNCE (of Justice).
Personally, I'd like to either see Hydromancer go Vigilante on some Law Enforcement (out of defense for either himself or Molly,) or try to "subdue" Molly from blowing something up.

You won't be seeing the heroes do much combat until after the Skull Girl backstory. One reason is because doing combat with jokes is tricky, and just straight-out combat takes awhile. (You wouldn't want to just see 4 panels of combat at a time)

The Hydromancer is a pretty scrappy fighter though -- I do have several story arcs planned where he displays exactly what he can do with just a crowbar... and why he carries one around in the first place...

Ah, yes, I know that combat is difficult.
With the number of fight scenes I've written, displaying down to the intricate motions of the master swordsman's wrist, I should know.
I've written litterally over a page on ONE forty-five second fight scene.
A friend and I actually recently wrote a lengthy (chapter-sized) five-minuete fight between a couple of Cyborgs (an Archangel and a shadowrunner), that was quite interesting, started on top of a really really tall building and ending on street level.
Anyway, cant wait to see that stroy arc! keep up the good work!

Hmm...I voted Hydromancer, mostly because I was impressed with myself I could remember his name, and also because it's just a cool name. But I think I relate to Christie in that I am tall and blonde and under certain circumstances, I can be a real..well I can blow up. So I sympathize with her. I probably smarter though.

I just realized that I'm going to have to re-do this poll once the full cast is introduced, but it gives me an idea as to the 'proto-cast' popularity.

I estimate that five characters are absent from the poll as of this writing, but they haven't really been introduced just yet. There will still be three that haven't even been seen, after the July 2 strip.

That's a ways away though. Don't worry -- I'll make sure I tally the votes for when I redo the sucker.
